Modeling the Past to Predict the Future: Forecasting the Relative Role of Climate Change and Habitat Management on Chesapeake Bay SAV

Description

This project, conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science and supported by a diverse group of steering committee members, modeled the impact of climate change on underwater grasses in the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to a final report, a Shiny application was developed to allow users to view the future of Chesapeake Bay submerged aquatic vegetation on a Bay-wide, individual community or segment-specific scale under two different scenarios: https://vims-sav.shinyapps.io/testshinyrmd/#section-segments
